    Tesla price increase round just started

    They are good about honoring the price before you take delivery. In my case the price dropped $2k at delivery so I got that as a refund check roughly 3-4 months later.. but I got it. The problem was I had already paid the price when I ordered so they couldn’t just refund me electronically I...

    Opinion: what I think Tesla should do to "solve" FSD

    I personally give the engineers a break on this because if you really look at how inconsistent the road signs are, the lines are sometimes painted on the roads and other times just a bunch of dots or metal lines when they haven’t painted lines yet. My point is that it’s confusing as hell for a...

    New tesla model 3 RWD battery drain while parked problem and park assist unavailable

    I have a new model 3 RWD and can attest to the park assist unavailable happening all the time. The new cars don’t have ultrasonics so if the camera is confused it gives that message. I’ve come to terms with it.. still sad I can’t impress my friends by a self parking car and if we are being...

    Done with Teslas

    Ah ok yes I have my hands on the wheel all the time during autopilot and yes it use to nag me a lot more. Never got adventurous enough to remove my hands from the wheel more than a second or two. Especially after a few cases of phantom braking.. scared the hell out of me.

    Done with Teslas

    No, I have no dog in this hunt.. only 4K on my 2023 sr3 and only using basic autopilot. Was just surprised by the lack of nag warnings after the last update is all.

    Done with Teslas

    With the last update (2023.6.11), I hate to admit this publicly but I drove 30 minutes on the highway (autopilot not FSD) without one nag. It must have used the camera to see I was paying attention with hands on the wheel. I think when I put on sunglasses that didn’t work as well obviously...

    What did you name your Tesla?

    I also considered getting a custom license plate with Li Fe Po (for the LFP battery). Seemed like I was saying something.. lifey poo..

    What did you name your Tesla?

    I named my Midnight Silver SR3 “Grayce” as I figured some day if I’m ever in an accident I can say “I was saved by grace!” That and it’s gray.. so seemed to fit.

    Another price drop

    Yeah I am in that purgatory.. waiting for that refund check.. 10 weeks so far.

    Another price drop

    If you haven’t taken delivery they should give you the lower price. I say that but it’s been 10 weeks or so and no check for the 2K priced drop that happened with my car before delivery.

    2023.6.9

    I got my SR3 on Jan 17 and I got the update on Saturday March 26. I kind of assumed they wanted to get this update to the non USS cars first. I’m also in the Dallas Texas area (not sure if that’s a factor). To be honest, it’s a pretty cool feature but looking forward to it getting better in...

    [uk] UltraSonic Sensors removal/TV replacement performance

    I have to agree there.. after reading the forum before getting my car, I didn’t know if my car would have matrix headlights, the new ryzen processor, the new 12v battery or USS (to some extent).. but I’ll admit it was becoming fairly obvious that USS was gone as people were belly aching about...

    Has anyone heard of a Tesla being rear ended because of phantom braking?

    Yes I’m sure the computer got confused for some reason.. the day I kept getting phantom braking I noticed it was very sunny out and I kept seeing the water mirage effect on the road ahead. I’m wondering if it literally thought I was driving into a lake? That being said, I almost wish there was...

    Has anyone heard of a Tesla being rear ended because of phantom braking?

    Oh yeah it is.. I have a new 2023 M3RwD (no uss or radar) and my first road trip was perfect on the way there.. but on the drive back I had 3-4 incidents of phantom braking before I finally gave up and drove manually (after my wife screamed at me). I wish there was a way to report these...

    Tesla Wall Charger installed - 50 amp instead of 60 amp

    So my electrician also wired my gen 3 Tesla charger with a 50amp and I was surprised to see i am limited to 32a when charging my 2023 model 3sr+ (LFP battery of course). I read the car limits itself to 32a (but a performance model 3 can pull more?) so I figured it’s not worth arguing for 60a in...

    Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

    I know my car is a M3SR and came from Fremont but it actually does have Matrix lights (I was told they are standard now) and I took delivery on Jan 17th.

    Crazy or no brainer? Trade 2018 LR RWD for 2023 SR RWD?

    I believe you have to take delivery before the end of March 2023 to get the full $7500 since the battery is from China. So yes after that the tax credit drops (hopefully Tesla finds a way to produce LFP in the US? Along with the materials (that may be harder). How many EVs will actually...

    Upset that Tesla screwed customers who took delivery in the last few months

    I think the only way they could pull this off better is to have introduced the newly updated 2023 Tesla as a whole new car without features and therefore that justifies the price drop. Then everyone can say they have the 2022 for the higher price.. so the price is justified. That’s a tricky...

    Upset that Tesla screwed customers who took delivery in the last few months

    I have been waiting for almost 4 years to buy a Tesla (waiting for the wife to be on board and the EV tax credit to be made available). So technically my patience was rewarded with this discount (almost missed it) and if I had bought the car early last year before they warned everyone the...

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    Can I ask a Noob question on supercharging an M3 LFP? Do you in fact attempt to charge to 100% on the level 3 superchargers? Or is it a waste of time (as it slows down when it gets to 80%?). I see that the 80-100% charging takes roughly 40 minutes vs. 20-80% that takes 20 minutes? I’d almost...

    Upset that Tesla screwed customers who took delivery in the last few months

    Honestly I thought I was SOL when I saw these price drops because my payment had already gone through and I was scheduled to take delivery of my car next week. Was very thankful to find that they honored the new reduced price (discount of only $2k but better than nothing). I honestly think the...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Got my VIN yesterday - so Jan 7th. Around 2 weeks.. not counting Holidays. And got an appointment for delivery in a week and a half. Will report on that experience (as I have learned a lot reading other experiences here)

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I put my order in for a Model 3 SR on Dec 22nd and got my home charger (about a week later) and now my app says estimated delivery Jan 7th-21st. I'm located close to Dallas, Texas. Will update once they contact me with a VIN.. nothing yet.
